This is from the Doug Sheridan LinkedIn account. We highly recommend following and connecting with Doug Sheridan. The great Javier Blas writes in Bloomberg, over the years, liberals became increasingly hostile to fossil fuels as the evidence of climate change accumulated. From 2020 onward, the hostility turned into militant opposition, culminating with Biden’s election slogan […]

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz force us to reconsider material benefits of fossil fuels

ENB Pub Note: This article was originally posted on America Outloud by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka, and we highly recommend signing up and reading their material. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Recent calls for a more realistic shift from “decarbonization” to “low carbon” suggest that discomfort with ideology-driven climate policy is finally beginning to surface in public debate.

Six Weeks that Turned Energy Security in Front of Net Zero and Deindustrialization

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage287

In just six weeks, the global energy paradigm has flipped. What a decade of climate summits, net-zero pledges, and green industrial policy could not achieve, Iran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz—and the raw reality of AI’s insatiable power hunger—has done in a flash. Energy security is no longer a side note; it is […]

We Need to Redefine the Levelised Cost of Energy Models – David Turver Says They Are Junk

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage223

For years, net-zero advocates have pointed to Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) charts from Lazard, IRENA, and government reports to claim that wind and solar are now the cheapest forms of electricity. These models supposedly prove renewables beat gas, coal, or nuclear on cost. But as Energy News Beat has long argued, this narrative is […]

The US Grid Transformers are a Critical Junction and Is A National Security Risk

April 11, 2026April 13, 2026 Clark Savage296

The backbone of America’s electricity system is under unprecedented strain. As highlighted in a widely discussed analysis by investor Felix Prehn, roughly half of the nation’s power transformers are operating well past their useful life—not merely aging, but “running on borrowed time.” JP Morgan has flagged the U.S. power grid itself as a national security […]

Net Zero Energy Policies Equate to Higher Energy Costs

April 5, 2026April 5, 2026 Clark Savage224

A compelling chart shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki (@MatthewWielicki) cuts through the rhetoric on renewable energy. It ranks U.S. states by electricity affordability and overlays whether they enforce Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and participate in cap-and-trade programs like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The top 10 most affordable states […]

Premeditated Industrial Destruction? How the UK Destroyed Its Industry and a Plan to Reverse This

April 3, 2026April 3, 2026 admin276

The United Kingdom once stood as an industrial powerhouse, fueled by abundant domestic oil, gas, and coal reserves that powered manufacturing, jobs, and economic growth. Today, that foundation is crumbling under the weight of Net Zero policies, sky-high energy taxes, regulatory barriers, and a deliberate shift away from reliable hydrocarbons. A powerful new report from […]

What is the Real Story Behind the EU Energy Policies? Are They Heading to an “Energy Lockdown” — and For What Reason?

April 1, 2026April 1, 2026 Clark Savage246

A viral X post from @LimitlesCobz captured the moment perfectly on April 1, 2026. It laid bare what EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen just told member states after an emergency energy ministers’ meeting: Europeans should work from home, drive less, fly less, and cut back on energy use because of the ongoing Gulf (Iran) conflict. […]

The Redefining of Levelized Cost of Energy Needs to Be Implemented to Lower Energy Prices

April 1, 2026 Clark Savage116

Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki on X has some fantastic points and we recommend following him. Oh, and he was a guest on the Energy News Beat Podcast. Dr. Matthew Wielicki cut to the heart of the matter in his recent post: “Solar panels and wind turbines don’t power heavy industry, 24/7 hospitals, or supply chains. […]

$2 Trillion Later, The Green Revolution Collapsed: How Chasing Weather Power Bankrupted the Grid and Cost the World $40 Trillion in Growth

March 31, 2026 Clark Savage44

ENB Pub Note: What Tony, whom we follow, left out is that this is a wealth transfer from the rich to the really rich. We need to look at the Levelized Cost of Energy and get a new definition. Wind and Solar have been getting a free pass without paying for Grid Resiliency. More on […]
